Project Summary

The project deals with two main areas: Drone and Virtual reality. These two areas belongs to new smart technologies (Industry 4.0) with huge potential for further development in many sectors with benefit for European economy and society. These two sectors will contribute in creating new business and jobs, protecting environment and improving the quality of life. Although drones are one of the most innovative technologies with applications in many industries and business, the related profiles of a drone software programmer or drone operator are still not part of the national qualification systems and the required digital skills are not yet taught under the current VET curricula in many EU countries. The same applies to another field with a significant market uptake: the development of virtual reality applications. VR is already one of the top emerging technologies. For this reason, the project aims at tackling skills gaps related to the occupational profile of programmer in the ICT sector, and develops new curricula in both fields that could be easily adapted by VET providers, both within the initial educations and lifelong learning programs. Members of the Digital Skills Alliance wil therefore: – Modernize the existing VET programs by developing new curricula for each of the two fields, – Integrate work based learning into the newly designed VET programs, – Design a joint European qualification standard and certification, thus increasing recognition of qualifications atd European Level and easing professional mobility in the ICT sector, – Cooperation with Member States (CZ, SK, ES, LT, AT, BE – EASA) and all stakeholders, an national instution and body of legislative about new European qualification standards- Improve skills intelligence and provide policy makers with recommendations on the strategy and instruments to adopt in order to efficiently address skills shortages.
